Chile Rellenos Casserole

This just might be the very first “new” recipe that I tried out right after Drew and I were married. I’d loved to cook for years before that, but cooking for my new husband was just so much fun!

Casseroles. I love them for so many reason: they’re so tasty (I really don’t know if I’ve ever met a casserole that I didn’t like), they’re great leftover, and one-dish dinners make clean-up easy! But so many of the casseroles that I make are loaded with pasta or tortillas. This dish is light on carbs but still filling and easy! Green chiles are mild, so add some red pepper flakes if you’d like extra heat.

This recipe was adapted from here. Note: My recipe is actually half of the amount of the original recipe, but it was still enough for us to make two meals out of it. I baked this “half recipe” in an 8″x 8″ pan.

i made this tonight, it was really good! I roasted fresh peppers instead and I also used sour cream instead of milk! It was really good! I think next time I might try putting crunched up corn chips to give it some crunch, maybe Fritos? Thanks for the great recipe!

This was very good! I added sliced olives to the top, because I love olives on tacos, enchiladas. I agree with Melissa, some crunch on top would really add to the dish. Next time I will serve crunched up corn chips on the side along w/guacamole and sour cream.

Made this last night, and altered slightly because of what I had on hand. I used 1 lb gb, and just a 7 oz can (drained) of diced green chilies on the bottom, because my store didn’t have whole. I also added a dash of chipotle powder for kick! Served with green salad, tortilla chips and sour cream on top. We will make again.

Patsy, are you talking about Baking it, then freezing or just prep then freeze? If baking, cool it, wrap in plastic, lay it right on top, then foil. When uncooked, same thing, plastic on top. So there is no freezer frost on your delish dish! Hope this helps, ENJOY😊

I have made this many times, but with double the eggs. I am making it this time with fresh roasted anaheim peppers, breakfast sausage, topping with tater tots and sharp cheddar! On the side will be sour cream, salsa and guacamole.
This will be Christmas morning breakfast with monkey bread for dessert!

We make a casserole very similar to this every year for Christmas morning, but use Little Smokies for the meat. Our recipe has a lot more egg, but otherwise is pretty much the same. Try this recipe, folks, it will be a keeper for sure!

Also love this recipe. We sprayed bottom of dish, and layered tortillas uncooked on the bottom. We also have used hamburger meat, breakfast sausage, or any kind of sausage..Hillshire Farm, Costco varieties, Italian…all enhance flavor wonderfully…have not done the crunch on top and so many choices to choose from. Looking forward to the crunch next casserole.
